Why wouldn't the parents just co-sign? Outside of the fact that they're filthy rich, they should just co-sign since it's their kid. I will never understand parents that have children, and just leave them in the dust after a certain age. Life is long and hard, just because someone's an adult doesn't mean they don't need parental support.

Millionaire mother refuses to co-sign mortgage for her son, he faces the possibility of homelessness so goes low contact with parents: “My father says this is so hard on her”
Money is one of the most stressful things for most people. Most everyone in the world, even in the 90th percentile of the population, struggles in some way, shape, or form with finances and money. Most people aren't born into money, and the way things are looking right now in the economy doesn't guarantee financial security even for people born into money. It can feel nearly impossible to keep yourself afloat. Limited job availability, increase in the cost of living, and wages don't seem to match up. Inflation is driving our lives back into practically a medieval dynamic, where you're either rich or poor. The middle class is nearly disappearing.
For people who are well-off financially, it can mean that they have less worries when it comes to money, but it doesn't mean they're willing to just forsake their savings in case of emergency. You never know when something will come up, and it's better to have the savings when it does.
In the story below, the protagonist wants his rich parents to co-sign on a home for him. In my opinion, besides the money, that's just what parents should do. They had children to help them out, didn't they?
